CURRENT MISSION

To live my life in service of others, to uplift humanity

ABOUT ME

I am a down to earth, straight forward, open guy who is now on a path to helping others. I see travel as extremely important part of my life education, to broaden my mind. I love nature and feel closest to God when i am surrounding by mountain streams or at the beach, or on an open sea. I have been blessed to live in the best city in the world which has mountains, beach, and everything else you can think of :).

PHILOSOPHY

My goals it to live a life in service of others, the environment and God.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted, and met a number of couchsurfers in South Africa. Have couch surfed in Argentina and Brazil and met for drinks in Bolivia. Have got a lot of people interested in Couch surfing to :).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love romantic movies and movies with meaning such as "Who killed the electric car", "Blood Diamond" etc. Also scifi and action. I like books on religion and non-fiction where i can learn something. When it comes to music, books or movies, if its good i will probably like it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have climbed the highest freestanding mountain in the world, stood next to an erupting volcano, tubed underground rivers, and kissed a wild crocodile with its mouth wide open, but the most most rewarding thing i have done is helping a person achieve their potential in this life and the most amazing thing i have seen would be watching a family spend time with each other.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don´t just hear, try to really listen. Realise that you cannot be dogmatic in your view as there are many alternative views where people are just as dogmatic. Don´t tell someone, suggest something; dont give an order, ask a question. Respect someones ideas and opinions even if you disagree with them. Appreciate how much we have in common instead of focusing on the little difference. Life is a journey, not a destination, so slow down and enjoy the ride :), oh and finally less is in life is definitely more!
